This is a pretty complex problem
Answer:
The number of pounds of cashew is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P represent the peanut
Let C represent the cashew nut.
From question, we were told that Elijah brought a total of 16 pounds of peanuts and cashew nuts. This can be written as:
P + C = 16 (1)
The total cost = $49.50
Cost per peanut = $2.75
Cost per cashew = $3.25
The above can be represented as:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C. (2)
From equation 1,
P + C = 16
P = 16 — C
Substitute the value of P into equation 2:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C.
49.50 = 2.75(16 — C) + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 — 2.75C + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 + 0.5C
Collect like terms
49.50 — 44 = 0.5C
5.5 = 0.5C
Divide both side by 0.5
C = 5.5/0.5
C = 11
Therefore, the number of pounds of cashew is 11
Answer:
the quadratic formula is ax^2 + bx + c", if the first one is expanded out I will be 6x^2+8x+27 so that's the answer
Answer:
x=22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a ratio
The names of the triangle help with this.
AB is similar to FG, and AC is similar to FH (the missing side)
6/15 = 9/x
cross multiply
6x=135
divide both sides by 6
x=22.5
